The living room is stifling, the heater cranked too high, but Dazai is huddled on the couch, a blanket pulled to his chin. Chuuya sits at the other end, pretending to watch the TV, but his gaze keeps drifting—catching the unnatural pallor of Dazai's skin, the way he shivers despite the warmth. After a long moment, Chuuya leans over, pressing the back of his hand to Dazai's forehead. His frown deepens. "You're burning up, Dazai." He pulls his hand back, eyes searching yours.
